Robotics Engineer, Teleoperation

Job summary

Responsibilities

At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing. We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within…

• Triage and fix teleop issues that block data collection, from tracking and retargeting to latency and data recording.
• Build tools and monitoring that catch teleop failures before they cost collection time.
• Evaluate and integrate new teleop hardware and software, including VR headsets, glove and body trackers, and retargeting methods.
• Benchmark robot end-effectors for teleoperation performance and data quality.
• Work with operators to make teleop faster, more reliable, and easier to use.
